I'm 28 years old. I did a summer job for my boss's startup company in 2010, but then he invited me back to work for his other company in 2014. I've now been here for 3 years, the longest I stayed in any country.

You probably have a country, a home, a stable safety net where you can always go back to. I don't.

My hope is to get the qualifications for Permanent Resident status somewhere. The fastest is New Zealand, which needs only 2 years for the Skilled Migrant Category. But they also need 3 years continuous relevant work experience.

I finally have the work experience, but my girlfriend wants me to stay in Taiwan for one more year, and I want to be with her. I'm also really worried that when I choose to move on, if I burn my bridges, I won't be able to come back. I like my quiet stable life here, and I'm a little disappointed that my boss wants me to leave in 2019, even though I do agree that I should try to settle elsewhere.

Moving to the Famous Company would mean moving city as well, which would affect my relationship with my girlfriend. She's more important than my career.
